Mrs. Misslings' Career Investigations class and Mr. James' Personal Finance class went to Minnesota State University-Mankato on Wednesday, October 28 for the Junior Achievement Finance Park Simulation. This is a real world simulation event where students are given a persona and have to make real world financial decisions. We also toured MSU - Mankato during our time on campus.



Some of Mrs. Misslings' Career Investigations and Work Seminar students participated in the Mayo Clinic Healthcare Career Festival held at MSU-Mankato on Tuesday, November 3. During this event students were able to experience hands-on activities and learn about a wide variety of careers in healthcare. Students were also able to talk to post secondary institutions about training and education needed for healthcare careers. The event ended with a panel of Mayo Clinic professionals sharing about their healthcare careers.

Red Ribbon Week is the United States' largest and oldest annual drug-use prevention awareness campaign, held every October 23–31.
This year's theme was: "Make a Difference. Be A Hero. Stay Drug Free."
The theme emphasizes that choosing to live drug-free is an act of leadership and courage, and that everyday decisions can positively influence peers, families, and communities.
Students participated in decorating the school with red ribbons and posters, making announcements about living drug free and participating in dress up days.

LCWM Levy Facts | Fact #6: Why Plan for the Future?
Every year, the district develops a balanced budget.
As costs continue to increase and revenues become more limited, balancing that budget becomes more difficult.
The School Board's goal is to make thoughtful, long-term financial decisions rather than waiting until larger reductions become necessary.
The proposed operating levy is intended to help stabilize the district's finances and preserve educational opportunities for current and future students.

This is just a reminder there is no school October 15-16. Enjoy the long weekend!

LCWM Levy Facts | Fact #5: Where Would the Levy Dollars Go?
A common misconception is that an operating levy pays for new buildings.
It doesn't.
An operating levy helps fund the day-to-day education of our students, including:
• Classroom instruction
• Teachers and staff
• Student support services
• Transportation
• Technology
• Utilities and daily operations
Simply put, these dollars help keep our schools operating every day for every student.

LCWM Levy Facts | Fact #4: What Has LCWM Already Done?
When facing financial challenges, our first step was not asking taxpayers for more funding.
Our first step was reducing expenses.
Over the past two years, LCWM has made more than $600,000 in budget reductions, including staffing changes, restructuring positions, and reducing expenditures across the district.
Those decisions were difficult because every budget reduction affects people, programs, or services.
The proposed operating levy comes after those reductions—not before.
Our goal has always been to be responsible with taxpayer dollars while maintaining the educational opportunities our students deserve.
